We go by the list of the membership we have. We can count them, and 83 terms were being let go. Then there are casual workers. Casual workers within the federal government are supposed to be there for only a certain number of days--I think now it's gone up to 90 days--so once they're done, they're done.
It's quite true that the department will argue that their term is over and that after the 90 days for casuals they can't rehire them, but we know that in various government departments they've used that casual term policy quite liberally: they hire them just before the end of the fiscal year for 90 days, and then they let them go for a week, and then they bring them back in the new fiscal year. That's been a known fact, and we know that is happening.
But where is the continuity in the processing? When you're in a constant mode of training, that again creates delays. These 83 terms who have been there for a while know the job. They could continue to do the job more effectively because they are fully trained, and you wouldn't be trying to bring somebody off the street. I'm not saying that bringing people off the street is not a good thing.
